[HistoricCemeterieslistserv] Keynote speaker announced for Heritage Conference

[Historic Cemeteries]

Hi Kuri,

 

The unfortunate omission of genealogy society staff and volunteers as
conference attendees was noted with concern. For example all records
relating to historic cemeteries, activities for preservation in the field,
and coordination with cemetery associations throughout  Jackson County are
routine  ongoing functions of the Jackson County Genealogy Library (owned
and operated by the Rogue Valley Genealogy Society).  Preservation of
historic cemeteries and records is, and has been, a priority since society
inception 48 years ago. Please don't forget or ignore the role of
genealogists in your efforts.

Conference

 

Grant McOmie, the award-winning television journalist whose stories about
travels on Oregon's backroads blend outdoor recreation and cultural
heritage, will be the keynote speaker at this year's Oregon Heritage
Conference.              

The conference will take place April 23-25 in Albany. Its theme is
"Celebrate, Recreate, Invigorate at the Hub of Heritage and Recreation."

McOmie has had a varied career reporting and producing topical and timely
environmental news stories, features and documentary programs for Seattle
and Portland television stations. However, he has most enjoyed his
exploration of Pacific Northwest back roads and byways through "Grant's
Getaways."

A fifth-generation Oregonian with roots near Prineville and Redmond, McOmie
has won numerous Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts
and Sciences and the Edward R. Murrow Award for News Coverage from the
Radio-Television News Directors Association.

He is the author of a new book, "Grant's Getaways-101 Oregon Adventures."

Conference attendees will include community leaders, staff and volunteers
from historical societies, museums, archives, historic cemeteries, ethnic
organizations, schools, historic preservation commissions, humanities
groups, Main Street programs, the tourism industry, economic development,
staff from local, state, and federal governments, and professional
historians and preservationists.
